Foreword
by Derrick Rose
I
want to first say that it’s an honor to be approached about providing the foreword
for Dr. Cole and Rob Panariello’s landmark book Basketball Anatomy. I truly believe
that the content of this resource has had a significant impact on where I am today in
my career. I’m also certain that it will have a similar impact on the game’s future play-
ers, coaches, and trainers.
Basketball has always been an important part of my life. Growing up in Chicago,
the game was my way of avoiding the streets and the negative influences that such
a lifestyle can have on a young man or woman. I owe a lot of credit to my brothers
for teaching me the game at an early age and seeing that I was in position to succeed
at the high school level. While I was at Simeon Academy, I was fortunate enough to
experience even greater success. The hard work and dedication that I put in every day
helped me attract the attention of some of the nation’s top college basketball programs
and eventually led me to the University of Memphis, where I had the opportunity to
play for an NCAA National Championship. Good fortune continued to shine down on
me, as after declaring for the 2008 NBA draft, I was the overall first selection by my
hometown Chicago Bulls and experienced immediate success in my first few years.
So why do I tell you all of this? Trust me, I am not using this as a way to boast
my personal accolades. Things were going great until my first major setback—a
serious knee injury. In 2012, while playing in the first game of the NBA Playoffs, I
suffered a torn ACL. The timing couldn’t have been worse as I didn’t have enough
time to recover before the following season, which meant that I had to endure not
only the pain of the injury, but also having to watch my teammates battle without
me. Upon my return at the beginning of the 2013-14 season, I was finally starting
to get back into game shape and feeling comfortable again. Then, on November
22nd, the unthinkable happened and again I suffered a season-ending injury. This
time a torn meniscus on my other knee. An entire career with no major injury and
now I suffer two within a three-year span.
But while I suffered these injuries and it did cost me time out of my career, I was
lucky enough to be under the care of Dr. Brian Cole and his team. He knows the game
and its demands on the body. That expertise helped me recover from both devastating
injuries, and I am now ready to return to the game stronger than ever. The exercises
that he and Rob Panariello have included in this book are essential to preparing your
body for basketball-specific actions. They even include much of the same injury recovery
that I had to endure while recovering from my ACL surgery. You’ll learn how to be a
better, stronger, healthier player and avoid common injuries in the game. The bottom
line is this: When it comes to training basketball players, keeping us healthy, or helping
us return from injury, there are no two guys better than Dr. Cole and Rob Panariello.
By picking up this resource, you’ll learn the same exercises that NBA players use on a
daily basis to keep us on the court and not the bench and how each of them directly
relates to basketball movements. I’ve never seen a book that takes you inside the game
and shows you why you train—the value, the benefit, and the results. It’s my go-to
resource and a must for every player coach, trainer, and fan!

Preface
D
r. Naismith, the creator of the game of shooting balls into peach baskets, could
not have dreamed that his game would evolve so dramatically. Though basket-
ball has changed over the past 100-plus years, the spirit and principles of the game
remain the same.
From the playground to professional levels, the sport is more popular now than
ever before. Every March, fans in the United States watch as a new national col-
legiate champion is crowned. Later that spring, all eyes are on the best basketball
athletes in the world as a new NBA champion is named.
The game of basketball requires various physical qualities for consistent success.
Strength, power, and elasticity provide you with the ability to demonstrate your
best game. As you commit more time and effort to the sport, your performance
will improve as will your ability to prevent and manage injury, and, if necessary,
rehabilitate from injury.
Chapter 1 introduces the physical qualities necessary for playing basketball and the
correlation of those physical qualities to optimal performance. Chapters 2 through
7 contain detailed exercises with full-color anatomical illustrations aiding in estab-
lishing skills such as gaining a strong position, improving jumping skills, getting a
quicker first step, and increasing acceleration. Chapter 8 covers the rehabilitation of
ankle sprains, knee tendinitis, and shoulder pathology. Chapter 9 describes methods
of preventing ACL and shoulder injuries, and chapter 10 describes optimal design
of training programs. This systematic method of training will help you prevent
overtraining and avoid overuse injuries that often occur as the result of excessive
fatigue during weight room training (the key below shows you how to distinguish
between primary and secondary muscles in the diagrams).

Motivation for participation in basketball may include seeking simple recreational
enjoyment, satisfying the thirst of competition, achieving a college scholarship, and
even making it the professional ranks. Basketball Anatomy contains the keys that
have led to the success of many basketball athletes over the years, all based on
authoritative literature and empirical experience. By sharing this information with
you, we hope to enhance your Ep53h0y7s/iCcoalel /Kaebyi/l5it1i3e1s4 6a/nJGd/ Rh1elp you achieve consistent
play and a healthy career.
